I know the function `calendar-cursor-to-date` that when invoked gives back the date at which the cursor is. But how do I get that info back to my program? Here is what I go so far: (defun insert-new-entry () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-max)) ;;next comes mostly pseudocode except *calendar-cursor-to-date* (calendar) (let ((x (bind-key (kdb "enter) 'calendar-mode calendar-cursor-to-date))) (insert x)))) So in english it's: 1. go to the last location in the buffer 2. open calendar 3. store in x whatever is returned where enter is pressed 4. insert it into buffer. The problem is step 3. How do I store into x whatever is returned from `calendar-cursor-to-date`? Thanks
